Fedora Open Badges

The idea is that as you do things as a Fedora Contributor and (eventually) as a
Fedora User, we'll automatically issue you badges saying "So and so filed their
first bug in Bugzilla" or "So and so closed 10 bugs in one week!".

If you think you want to know more about what we're trying to do here, you should probably jump on the mailing list and add yourself to the above list.

Some unanswered questions

What does the badge submission process look like? We have a brainstorm-y list started below... maybe a trac instance where people can submit tickets with their ideas and then community members with different skillsets can glom on and contribute the different necessary pieces (code.. image.. etc.)

Who ultimately decides what badges we do and do not start handing out? threebean?

brainstorming mode.

Crazy Ideas

Add a "Met User X" badge system. Use case: You're at a conference running a booth, everyone who comes up can scan your QR code and be awarded the "I met So and So in person" badge. This should be automatically available to anyone with a FAS account.

Add an event badge system so that users can create badges for a particular event. "I went to FUDCon 2013"

"I verified and signed $foos gpg key" ?

Really Making Badges

Making a (phase one) badge requires the following:

Metadata

An image (with certain properties, TBD).

A name

A description

An http link to any old page describing criteria for the badge.

Code

A plugin for our infrastructure daemon that know when and when not to award badges. (we need some examples of how to write this)

Infrastructure (the plan)

These will get exported to Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure (OBI). See
their frontpage for a general introduction and
the README for a
more technical introduction. This is good -- it means we don't lock in users'
badges just to Fedora where their friends' friends will never see them.

Phase One badge awarding will be driven by the fedmsg bus. For instance, when a
user comments on a bodhi update, bodhi emits a fedmsg message. A daemon sitting
in our infrastructure catches that message, checks a database[1] to see if that
user has ever comment on an update before. If not, then a badge awarded to them
for commenting on their first update. Badge awarding means creating an entry in
a second database that User X has Badge Y.

Mozilla's OBI requires that the user authenticate with them over
Persona. We do not yet have a way to
push badges automatically from our DB to the OBI. A stand-in workaround is to
host a webapp that request Persona authn from the Fedora user and then exports
our badges to OBI over their json API. This (while not deployed in our
infrastructure) actually works.. even if its a clumsy extra step.

Phase Two badge awarding will be driven by user activity on their Fedora
machine. When they run yum update for the first time, or open the
gnome-tweak-tool for the first time, a daemon on their machine will make
submissions to our infrastructure.. awarding them badges. Phase Two is not yet
well thought out.

Timeline

Spruce up the Tahrir app.

Deploy the Tahrir app.

Begin awarding badges via the fedmsg bus.

Create a process for contributors to submit and vet new badge ideas and details.

Write and make available a system for awarding badges from the desktop
